Guys,

My labor is certified atlast. After waiting for 5 years and 2 months.
What a relief :) . I wish you all good luck. I believe you'll all get your
labor certified very soon.

This forum has been very helpful to me all along. See you all in I-140
forum soon.

Thanks,

I cannot believe how you can stand for it for so long! Congratulations, Buddy!
 
Good to see approvals coming from PBEC

It was DBEC V/s PBEC . Now there is a counterpart to
PBEC in the I-140 stage. That is Nebraska Service Center.
Some of the I-140 approvals from Texas Service Center
happened in 10 days ! So pray the application to go to TSC ;-)

Feasible in 14 Months?

08/04/2006: Elimination of Backlog Labor Certification Applications: Feasible in 14 Months?

The DOL authorities confirmed in San Antonio in June that the data entries were about to be completed by the end of June and mailing out of all the 45-day letters might also be completed by middle or within July 2006. The authorities also confirmed that traditional regular labor certification applicants would start receiving the recruitment instructions with their prevailing wage determination to accelerate the recruitment process beginning from later part of July 2006.
For a while, the employers received en masse the 45-day letters in the mail, but lately it has slowed down for unknown reasons. Sources indicate that the initial schedule has been somewhat pushed off. However, the DOL website still promises that they will eliminate all the backlog cases in 14 months. The period of 14 months may be a long time for the immigrants but a short time for the agency to eliminate tons of complicated labor certification applications. This is particularly true in that as the elimination program approaches the end of the rope, the morale of the temporary workers that manage, operate, and process applications is expected to drop substantially.
The late slow-down of the pace of processing of the backlog applications raises a misgiving that unless the agency works out a special procedure or device, they may not be able to reach the goal.. There are still tons of traditional applications that await a time-consuming supervised recruitment process and adjudication including audits. The c6nsumers want to see some speed-up action before we approach the year-end holiday season and work slow-downs.

I forgot to ask if you are an Indian. If you are an Indian then you cannot file I-485 at this time. You will have to wait, hope and pray that in october the EB2 category visa dates move forward. Right now the EB2 category is unavailable. So, if you are Indian then you cannot file I-485. Go ahead and file for I-140.

Good luck to all of us.
 
Yes, Indian,
Case # - P-04296-XXXXX.
I did read few days back, When you file I140&I485 concurrently, You could apply for EAD by online. My concern is to get EAD ?. Is the above info is true ?
 
You can file I-140 after your labor is approved, but in order to file for EAD or AP, you need to qualify to file for AOS (I-485). If your PD is current for EB2 (by the way, for India it is not) you can not file AOS and therefore can not file for EAD.

There is speculation that it might open up in Oct, so you have two options:
a. File just 140 now, and wait for PD to become current to file AOS/EAD/AP
b. Wait for PD to become current to file 140/AOS/EAD/AP

If you are affected by retrogression or the lack of Visa numbers you cannot file concurrently. If not, then go ahead and file togther

I'm Indian too. and I know for a fact that since the visa numbers are unavailable in EB2 category for Indians we cannot avail the option of concurrent filing for I-140 & I-485. We have to wait till Oct and hope that the visa date for EB2 for India moves forward to beyond Feb 2003 to be able to file for I-485(Adjustment Of Status), EAD (Employment Authorisation Document) and AP (Advance Parole - Travel Document).

Good Luck
 
1-140/I-485 concurrent filing - How likely ?

All,

My labor was approved yesterday. EB2 with PD of May 9 2001 and Indian origin. My PD was current once. I understand that vasa numbers are unavailable for EB2/India category.

Here are my questions :
1) After october, what are the chances that the visa numbers are available ?

2) If visa numbers are available, can they move the previous current date backwards ? That is, if in the past the 'current date' was May 2002, can they move it backwards to May 2001.

3) If visa numbers are NOT available, any guess on how many months or years it would take for visa numbers to be available again ?

Thanks,

Anything anyone says here would be speculation, so let me take my best shot at it.

1. There is general concensus that it'll open up for EB-2 India with a date greater than or equal to the last date when it closed (Jan 2003).

2. Visa numbers can certainly move back wards (like it did for India EB3) this time. But once it opens up for EB2 (with whatever date) it's unlikely to move back immediately

With your May 2001 PD with EB2, I'd personally be jumping up & down :)
